The Greatest Rivalry in Valorant History 

It’s such a shame that the Loud and Optic rosters split to different rosters , this rivalry was hands down one of the best in Valorant LAN history.

It's funny that there's a clip of Sacy watching a play from aspas at a time that everyone accused aspas of cheating (obviously he's clean) and Sacy was in VKS. Sacy said: - Either this guy is hacking or is the best player in the world

Another sadder bit of trivia that I don't see being mentioned often: During Champions 2021, Saadhak's mother passed away while he was in Berlin playing for Team Vikings. After their championship win in 2022, he dedicated his win to her.

A few trivia about Loud: - Sacy is a former League of Legends pro (even won the local championship). Saadhack came from Paladins. Pancada came from Crossfire. Aspas came from CS:GO. Valorant is Less first professional game. - After champions 2021, Sacy and Saadhack wanted to create a roster capable of winning champions 2022. That's where "Pancada e Amigos" (Pancada and Friends) came from. They negotiated with a lot of orgs but Loud was the only one willing to sign the whole roster. - Onur (Kru's coach in 2021 and Leviathan's in 2022) was supposed to be their coach. That didn't work as Onur was forbidden to enter Brazil after refusing to be vaccinated for Covid. - Aspas was accused of hacking back in CS:GO (there is a whole drama around that) and Sacy even probed him before entering the roster. Afterwards everyone understood that the cheating situation was all BS and he was just that good. - Less was Onur's recomendation. - They didn't expect to get that far in Reykjavik. That masters was supposed to be an opportunity to gather experience (mainly for the younger players). - Loud's first loss was at Reykjavik grand finals. - Between masters Reykjavik and the next step of vct, they barely had any time to prepare for Copenhagen. They didn't really have many strategies (most of them were well known from Reykjavik) and they were struggling with the mental pressure. - Loud tought they had a pretty decent Pearl at Champions but after being beaten by Optic in Group Stage they realized that the map had to become their permaban. The issue was that Haven was their permaban at that time, so they made a last minute effort to improve their Haven basing most of it on Leviathan's. Afterwards they beat both Leviathan and DRX who were known to have pretty strong (arguably the best) Havens in the tournament. - Loud always had bad pistol rounds. They improved that for Champions with help from fRoD (a legend from NA's CS and an old friend of BzkA, Loud's ex-coach). - They had the strongest Ascent in the world (by numbers) with 95% winrate.

the fact that the 2 arguably best rosters in the world split up is crazy..

NEW rivalry has already emerged NRG vs LOUD it is 18-16 Ot final match at VCT 23

Hope you guys enjoyed this one! I won't keep making them this long haha

Now VCT Lock In NRG X LOUD was one of the most exciting valorant matches we've ever seen

The actual brotherhood they had was insane!! But its good that sacy,saddhak will meet OPTIC members as NRG.

great video, as a brazilian I am very happy to see this rivalry being recognized by others

as a brazilian i had to say that i love the respect that both teams have each other, never underrating. Especially the declarations of yay about his rivals. Sorry my gamer english, im still learning😔

Insane that this video popped onto my timeline after watching NRG vs LLL in Brazil. Insane game, both teams deserved to win. I've always been a fan of the og Envy guys so I was sad to see em lose but Loud definitely deserved it.

Great video! Incredible editing and story telling. You're really good at this, man. Keep up with the good work!

thanks for the amazing video man, very good editing and storytelling

Great video man! I will def share to my brazilians friends, thank you and keep it up.

Most underrated man alive i thought you had atleast 400k, subscribed instantly great video.

Well nrg vs loud was insane 🤧

Glad I found this channel,Nice content Keep It Up!

Your video gave me chills bro, keep up the good work!

pt-BR : Isso foi muito bem feito meu bom, Video muito massa e que faz uma recapitulação de uma rivalidade cravada na história do valorant mundial ! en : That was very well done my good! Very cool video that recaps a rivalry embedded in the history of world valorant!

Thank you for this amazing video, big hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷

such a good video as always, love the music :]]]]]

my man, i watched the entire video and amazing work onthis!!!!

Beautiful video, thanks for your hard work

Another great vid dude, keep it up ❤️

5:54 nah, Marved just staring into your soul

Love everything you have been putting out!

This rivalry was the highlight for the first phase of VCT, as we move on to the next stage with franchising, let's see what other stories the players can craft in this narrative.

One thing that most people forget about is that Pancada was a world class player in a less popular FPS called CrossFire, wich was pretty popular in Brazil during the late 2000s and early 2010s. He played in multiple international events while playing CF and even managed to finish 2nd in the 2019 CrossFire Stars tournament. That being said, really well made video, gj :)

I enjoyed this a lot, watched all of their matches live so this hit extra hard. Great documentary

Yk, i think that is really good to mention that this first masters was the first international class championship that LOUD played together, and the first one off Aspas and Less.

Great work brother. Keep it up. 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Great vídeo, huggies from Brazil bro! :)

Pancada e amigos was the greatest team we've seem in BR but they just dissapeared what a shame

Best storyline in Valorant as of now Franchising really took away this rivalry Thank you for this well made video!

The streets won't forget Sacy's Ascent 1hp clutch in OT at the final, LEGENDARY match!! Incredible display of professionalism by both teams! Thanks for the video, what an awesome rivalry!

Great vids dude super engaging

Subbed after watching this. Great video.

Love your vids mate ❤

this. video. was. amazing. Super well made, outstanding job

looking back at the reykjavik match and seeing both marved and pancada on Chamber is quite a sight to see. I completely forgot that OpTic had the same comp but across different players, and Loud just had a different agent comp altogether

The rivalry and love between both teams were amazing. The buyouts suck but oh well let's see how the new teams are. More interested in C9.

I still can’t believe Loud came out of a team called “pancada and friends” it’s like Optic coming from “FNS and friends” or Sentinels coming from “Tenz and friends”

most under rated channel.

I love all the pokemon music u put into these

This video is really well made ngl

Nrg and Loud’s game in Lock//in was literally the best valorant game i’ve ever seen. The rivalry still lives

Came here to say that the rivalry is fucking alive hahaha

Easily the most amazing rivalry pre franchising ,exactly the same no. of matches won by each team and both beat each other once in major finals

Here in brazil we like OPTIC/NRG, but i feel sad for the high hate FNS received from our torcida

I've had notifications on for the past month and every video has continued to be an absolute banger. Great job! Curious if you've had any channels before this, because great quality from the start is super impressive. Also, did you have any sort of video plan set out, or are you just coming up with ideas and making them as you go? Also small side note that's been bothering me: adding those tags to the description (loud sentinels tenz c9, ect) can actually get you a community guidelines strike I'm pretty sure. The way I've seen most bigger youtubers get around this is making it a slightly more logical jumble of words, so writing something along the lines of "Loud, Sentinels, and C9 all have all had some of the best moments of valorant roster franchising. Shroud, Tenz, and Zellsis have led the NA, APAC, and EMEA regions through iconic moments in the rivalry of valorant champions tour 2022." Just something I figured I'd mention, not really sure if it's actually a huge concern. Either way, excited to see future videos!

Awesome video!

South America has always been a region with a lot of talent for E-sports, it just needed more investment and over time that has been changing and more and more people see E-sports in the region and this will make it a more dominant region in the panorama as seen in Valorant, CS:GO, Rocket League, Rainbow six among others.

Seeing that after Loud x NRG is much more crazy

Nicely explained bro 🫡

that last match they played was hands down the best series ive watched

Great Video ❤🎉

Loud saved Valorant in Istanbul by not letting NA win their first Champions🙏🏽

optic won me over with their ability to stay calm and pull off the unthinkable (and of course, seemingly making it a requirement to lose the first map) but loud really deserved the win at Istanbul. Such amazing games for the grand final

You got me excited it thought I was a new video. 😢

wowww nice video man :)

Dude I’ve been watching you since I first saw your videos when you had like 100 subs, I legit thought the channel would have 100K+ subs because the videos were such high quality! Keep up the great work!

Vídeo muito bom, parabéns!!!

eu nem jogo valorant e gostei do vídeo! muito foda!!

6:45 the pokemon black and white theme omg < 3

great stuff

W video from the man himself

muito bom vídeo meu amigo, muito obrigado

So underrated

Its was unreal to see thoses guys play against each other in the VCT LOCKIN

as an brazillian I am really happy to see how much loud put brasil on the map for esports I know csgo has brazillian players like fallen,fnx and coldzera that won majors and other tournamnets but you dont usually see a full brazilian team dominate games like this

coming back after nrg v loud carrying the torch

coming back here after loud vs nrg insane match

I loved this video so much and checked the channel... Can I recommend a video topic? I would love a video on Gambit/M3C and the era that was meant to be. If you're someone that follows EMEA, the story of the best team in 2021 crumbling down and 4x almost getting there this year is heartbreaking. And the most amazing thing is: they shaped what VALORANT's 2022 season would be more than any team, created a strategy standard that was ahead of its time. If it weren't for the war and it's consequences (that we will never 100% know what happened, but can assume: playing without support, without salaries etc) and had their mental put together, they would've dominated this year. Like Pujan said: "Most people forgot about them, but they're still one of the hardest to play against" A shame they're not together anymore, but can't wait for what 2023 will bring for them!

For me the loud optic rivalry will translate into a loud vs nrg + loud vs c9 + sen vs nrg + sen vs c9 . Too bad it will be 4 times less hype I think

6:15 W pokemon background music

I didn't understand why a lot were glorifying optic until I saw them play against DRX. Experiencing this live, whilst not knowing much about their background, was something else. They kept facing each other at it was just revenge after revenge. Wished DRX made it but glad that Loud took the trophy. They definitely deserved it.

I loved

The last match NrG vs Laud was the best match in Valorant history

Are you planning on doing a part 2 talking about loud vs NRG greatest valorant match?

the rivalry still de same! On vct lockin são paulo the energy against nrg was incredible. The best day ever, GO LOUD

2022 was the year of Drx the miracle run on valorant and on league

i love the pokemon music

Recently found your channel I’m enjoying it allot A good topic for a future video is KRü Vs Brazilian to my knowledge could possibly be wrong but KRÜ hasn’t lost to a Brazilian team ever

Now watching loud amd Nrg om São Paulo they are still the 2 greatest teams im valorant

Now its tied again at 4-4

Well, that NRG vs LOUD was a banger of a match so the rivalry stills there

marved said he is not done competing, not sure if that really counts as retirement, but overall amazing video

13:57 reverse sweep has happened in the CIS region where NAVI were winning 2-0 in grand finals and fpx won 3-2 after

Defining moment of Envy will always be that yee yee ass fist bump

Good job! But you'll have to upgrade that rivalry, with the best match ever in Valorant. hahaha LOUD x NRG in São Paulo. 😍

OpTic not making franchising still to this day makes me so upset

this video might be seen by either optic and loud players in the next generation, just to remember how lived a holywood script in valorant competitive scenario

Never again will there be another rivalry in valorant esports history like OpTic and LOUD

First loving the vids

cool

It's a surprise that envy when became optic made it to grand finals but in 2021 lost to Gambit while yay dropped 57 frags

oh but it was the same, my god that nrg vs loud!!!!
